Verizon to Deploy LTE 'As Close to All-At-Once As Possible'
LTE is GSM and Verizon will experience Problems
And LTE isn't GSM, why does everyone think that? This is a whole new platform.
I'm so suprised about how many people can tell the future. Hey folks, when will be the end of days? Can someone tell me when the 2nd coming of Christ? Or let me know what phones will be available next year? Tell me now, since some on here knows the future of LTE!
Where is Doc and Marty? I want that flying Delorian now! 😎

Verizon made CDMA work better than Sprint or Alltel and any other CDMA network.
Really? "Verizon made CDMA work better than...any other CDMA network"? Evidence? Unsubstantiated assertions have all the worth of toilet tissue.

VZW's "network quality" is largely a marketing concept.

AJ, is CDMA superior to GSM in your opinion?
For numerous reasons, CDMA has the far superior airlink, GSM the better underlying MAP network. But CDMA wisely decided to retain the older IS-41 underlying network, as it maintained compatibility w/ AMPS. That dual mode capability was crucial to the early growth of CDMA across the vast US and is the primary reason why CDMA still has a substantial domestic coverage advantage over GSM to this day.

Next question: Is 850mHz superior to 1900 (again in your humble opinion)?
Here is an incomplete answer:
Each has its advantages. Cellular 850 MHz experiences approximately 7 dB less propagation loss than does PCS 1900 MHz propagation. That means that Cellular 850 MHz is more suitable for low cell site density networks, as it can cover greater area w/ the same or greater intensity. On the other hand, the increased path loss of PCS 1900 MHz is more suitable for high cell site density networks, such as those in urban areas, as increased cellular reuse can function as a bandwidth multiplier for higher data rates.
So, an ideal domestic wireless network would deploy the same airlink in bot...

So, if you're in an outdoor area where building impedance is not a problem, you'll do better sticking with the higher frequency bands.
Just wait and see what happens 10 years from now when everybody decommissions all the 3G 1900 MHz spectrum and moves it all to 4G or 5G. WOW!
CDMA w/ LTE is a network OVERLAY.
LTE is on completely different spectrum with completely different end-user hardware. Consumers with 4G only devices will be upset when they leave coverage areas and their cell phones still work, but nothing related to LTE deployment will have any impact on existing 2G or 3G network operation for VZW, AT&T, CLEAR or anyone else.
